The Hopkins Storage Systems Lab (HSSL) is dedicated to building storage and database systems that address emerging requirements in scientific and distributed computing. Towards this goal, the lab conducts research into: scalable file systems on heterogeneous networks, storing data in the regulatory environment, and caching, data organization, and query evaluation in federations of scientific databases. The HSSL has active collaborations with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute, the Carnegie Mellon Databases Group, and the Johns Hopkins Turbulence Research Group.

The Hopkins Storage Systems Lab is part of the Department of Computer Science in the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University
